Badly standardized? Not since the mid-90's. And the days of cross-compiler pain went away almost completely when the last big holdout of the pre-standard days, Microsoft, finally released their 2003 C++ compiler.

Your next point, that C++ is just C "with OO" strikes me as deeply ignorant. OO is an important feature, but 95% of the language innovation of the last 20 years has been in templates.

Compilation errors are a pain in C++. It's something that takes months for a smart programmer to figure out. Debugging C++ is harder than debugging C, yes. It's a more complex beast.

Reading your post I get the impression of someone who has read a lot more about C++ than working with C++. Try interacting with any modern C++ code-base (something written in the last 10 years), avoiding the template meta-programming code-bases which are really only of use for library-writers not library-users.
